Kool And The Gang have shared a new song.
Pursuit Of Happiness serves as the opener of the funk legends' upcoming album, 'Perfect Union', their first full-length of new material in over a decade, due out on August 21 via Omnivore Recordings.
Tapping into the familiar bright, groove-driven energy the group are known for, the radiant track sends out a message of hope through lyrics co-written by the late Ronald Bell, who co-founded the group in 1964 with his brother Robert. This version of the single features a slick contribution from hip hop artist Keith Murray, while an alternate cut without the rap verse will be included on the record.

The multi-Grammy Award winners' last LP came in the form of 2007's 'Still Kool', though in 2013 they dropped 'Kool For The Holidays', a festive record comprising original songs and Christmas standards.

1. Pursuit of Happiness
